ANDREW BYRNE AND TOM NICHOLSON
LINES TOWARDS ANOTHER CENTURY
Performed by L’ARSENALE
Parco delle Rimembranze, St Elena, Venice
(vaporetto stop: St Elena, behind the Giardini)
Saturday 6 June, 16.00hrs

An immersive performance involving sound, movement and text.

Lines Towards Another Century is an instruction-based performance  
featuring the Italian contemporary music ensemble, L’Arsenale. The  
work is structured around the intoning of a vast list of national  
boundaries created during the 20th century.  For the Venice  
manifestation of their collaboration, Byrne and Nicholson make use of  
recorded intonings of the list, disembodying the act of reading and  
using the recorded material as a kind of ordering system for the  
movement of the performers through the space of the Parco delle  
Rimembranze. Each performer remains silent, moving through the park,  
bearing the transmission of a recorded intoning, which orders, prompts  
and contains their movements, creating complex layers and  
accumulations of sound.
